Yesterday, a group of economic justice campaigners notified about their scheduled Wednesday meeting with the Head of Financial Services Agency. During the meeting, the representatives of Occupy London will be discussing major concerns regarding the industry as well as its regulation with the Chief Executive of FSA, Hector Sants. Sources have confirmed that the Bishop of London and Ken Costa, the former Vice-chairman of UBS Investment Bank and Chairman of Lazard International, will also mark their presence in the meeting.
“We can confirm Hector has offered to meet representatives of occupy London do discuss a range of issues, recognizing the importance of the financial services industry engaging more with the general public”, explained a spokesman for the FSA, while insisting that the scheduled meeting can be considered as initiative in an array of programs outlined by the Church named London Connect. Experts have organized the program with the focus of opening a dialogue between the city and public.
As per reports, the group of campaigners also camped Finsbury Square in Islington, north London, along with an abandoned UBS-owned office block in Hackney, east London. While commenting on the move, a supporter James Hargreaves applauded Hector Sants for its eagerness for having involvement in Occupy London along with Ken Costa and the Bishop of London, especially during the precarious time of the financial system.
In addition, the representatives notified that the meeting will be organized at St. Ethelburga's Tent at the Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. It will be organized by the St. Paul's Institute with Occupy London's Multifaith, Belief & None working group. However, they have denied statements about the exact date of release.
